Permanent 5 oclock shadow?

[KillingTime]

I hate this so much, first off I have to shave about 3 times a day because my beard grows so fast, the problem is I can never get it to go away. After I shave, my face feels completely smooth... no stubble or anything, but I look in the mirror and I still have the black 5 oclock shadow.
Facial hair looks horrible on me so this really sucks, is there anything that can be done about this?

I have the same problem!!

I don't think there's anything we can do. =(

They have laser techniques for everything, I bet this is no exception.

But would you want to laser away your beard?

I wish I had a five'o shadow!


I don't get facial hair anywhere else than moustache and just little bit under my lips and on mouth-wide section on my chin...

I keep a little-ass goatee there, makes me look a bit older in some people's head. And I like it myself, but more wouldn't hurt.

most women seem to like a 5'o'clock shadow...

Where do you find the time to shave 3 times a day? Who cares if there's a bit of hair on your face?

I shave about once every 3 or 4 days, and I only shave downwards (so it's not so smooth)


EDIT: LOL, your name is KillingTime, and I was asking you where you found the time to shave, now I get it!!!

I somewhat have/had the same problem. The little niche i've found that helps me is that I now use a Mach 3 Turbo, a facial moisturizer, use a face wash instead of dry soap, and common shaving cream. I shave entirely against the grain. Make sure your face isn't dry; your shaves will be irritating, not as close, and terrible overall. I wouldn't have even dreamt of shaving against the grain before, but now after moisturizing and stuff, it's perfectly fine. I also have an electric shaver handy in case I need a touch up.

It's not perfect this way, but it's the best i've found.
